the following particulars Of the death Of
James Mackey last Monday in Arcade
Township i've miles northeast OF town.
IL seems that Mr. Mackey only a few
days before mis- tragic death, moved on

well had been out of order, that is, the
water was bad. Mr.. Whitney let his
windmill run all Sunday night to lower
the water so it could be cleaned out.
On Monday morning James MackeV
and A. j MackeY went over to Whit
neys to assist in the work of cleaning
the we'll James Afackey went down
on the rope Mr.. Whitney and A. J
MackeY lowering him. When near the
bottom a stone became loosened from
the top and being jostled by the loose
platform over the top. fell down strik-
ing Mr.. Mackey on the top of the head,
killing him instantly. He leaves a wife
and one young child to mourn his IN
timely death. The funeral took place
Tuesday at 10, A. NJ.

The Gardens Of EgYpt.

At the beginning of March the gardens
of Egypt. are really wonderful; the orange
and lemon trees spread their rmost punSeut
odor; the rose trees are covered with in
nun@erable flowers; the palms, with their
green and white crowns, swing there in
the wind: the oleanders there border the
avenues, on the lawns anemones, annual
and perpetual flowing pinks, chrysanthe-
NUNS, violets, Zinn;aS, periwinklcs, snap
dragons, mignoncttcs, pansles and Pc
tunias blend their innumerable colors
with the green oil the trees, bushes and
shrubs. Groups of bamboo lift here and
there their long green or golden stems,
which assume in few months enormous
proportions, the cruelty ingenious punish
ment of the Chinese in binding a criminal
to young bamboo. The plant grows
and the wretch is quartered in a few
weeks. No wood is lighter or more, use
full than the bamboo. One does Mlk
understand why the Egyptians neglect TO-
plant it along the canals and on every
cultivated land, where it grows so well.
But what gives, at least during winter
and spring, the most smiling aspect
to the Z Egyptian gardens are the
great sheets of rose bougainvilleas that
cling to the walls, the trees and groups
of foliage, and which display everywhere
the varied and exquisite tint of their
flowers. The bougainvilleas is certainly
the finest of climbing plants. During
five months it flowers under the winter
sun, takes shades of extreme delicacy-
one might say light rose trail, the in
tcnsity of which every play of light
varies. The aloes, the agave, attach
themselves on rocky slopes. On the
banks of the water course the blue lotus
and the papyrus still revive antique remi-
niscences. Grass cannot be raised in
Egypt. The layer of soil is so thin that
the sun dries it up Immediately, and un-
less the grass is constantly submerged it
turns yellow and perishes at once. 1t is
not the heat alone that produces this re-
suit, for there is very much fine grass in
the tropics; but the heat, accompanied
BY the shallowness of the soil, renders
the culture of grass impossible in Egypt.
1t is with difficulty that few isolated
blades of grass sprout during winter
along the Nile and the canals; they dis
appear as soon as the spring begins, so
that everywhere in the country where ar
tihcial cultivation finishes the dry and
bare desert begins In the place of grass
a pretty little verbenacea is used, and
this is encountered everywhere, the same
as grass is encountered in America.

The ARMY in 1892.

Major R. H. Hall, Twenty-second In
fantry, stationed at Omaha, has COM
piled and had printed for private distri-
button a register of the United States
Army for Jan. 1, 1902. A copy of the
register has been received at the War
Department, and excites considerable in
terest, Major-Gen Arthur St. Clair was
then General-in- Chief. The army then
consisted of one battalion of artillery and
two regiments of infantry and but 80
officers, 10 of whom were artillery
officers. The monthly pay of the Major
General was 1926, with $50 for forage
and Is rations per day. An officer of
that rank now receives monthly salary
of $Ge5. For clothing each man was en-
titled to receive annually hat or helmet,
1 coat, 1 vest, pairs wooden and linen
overulls, pairs of shoes, 4 shirts, 2pairs
socks, 1 blanket, 1 stock and clasp, and
/ pair of buckles. The daily ration con.
sisted of 1 pound of beef or Z pound of
pork, 1 pound of bread or flour, ! gill of
rum, brandy, or whisky, or its money
value. For every 100 rations o man was
entitled to quart of salt, 2 quarts of
vinegar, 2 pounds of soap, and pound
of candles. - W0Shinqt0n Star.

A Safety Saddle.

An English military officer has made
some radical changes in the construction
of a saddle which are highly spoken of.
The "tree" is so altered as to allow the
open space to be webbed, making a
yielding seat, so that the falling of the
rider is not likely to occur any more on
this saddle than on an Office stool. 1t is
in the hanging of the stirrup, however,
that the greatest improvement consists.
Instead Of dangling at the end OF one
vertical strap the safety saddle stirrup is
suspended by two straps-one from the
cantle and one from the pommel. The
rigidity of this suspension, compared to
the swinging motion of the ordinary
stirrup hanging, only needs trial to
make the rider exclaim: "Why was this
not thought of before2"
With this double suspension the open
front of the stirrup is always to the for
ward thrust of the horseman's foot-a
serviceable position with skittish OF
fdgety horse after dark when mounting,
the right foot having always to kick at the
dangling stirrup iron till it is turned so as
to get the foot into it. Chicago Mcus

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.

Cabbage Worms and Squash Bugs.
A correspondent of the Meeo England
Homestead says: Cabbage worms never
trouble an English gardener of my &C
quaintance. When they first appear he
dissolves tablespoonful of saltpetre in a
pailful of tepid water and gives the plants
. good sprinkling. The worms will dis
appear speedily. If they begin after a
few days to appear again, renew the
sprinkling and you will seldom have oc-
casion to apply it third time. 1t pro-
notes the growth of the plants, too.
Seeing him planting his melons, squashes
and cucumbers, asked him if the bugs
would not destroy the vines. He said
he was never troubled by striped bugs.
When he prepared the hills he planted IA
circle of beans six inches apart around
the outer edge of each hill. The beans
would come up just before melons, etc,
would appear, and no bug would molest
the vines. have tried these two remedies
myself for ten years with perfect success.

The Naked Truth.

"You have heard the expression
The naked truth'-and perhaps you dc
not know how it originated" said the
Rev. Sam Jones in his Red Rock sermon
yesterday. Twill tell you. Once upon
q time Truth and Error went in bathin 9
together. Error came out first, put on
Truths clothes and ran away. And
Error has been trying to wear the same
garments ever since. When Truth came
out of the water the only clothing il
could find to put on was what belonged
to Error. Before will wear such gar
mcnts as those said Truth, 4 will GO
naked all my life Truth has kept its
word, and goes through the world naked,
without frill or bang, or hustle, or any
thing else. st. Paul GlObe.

A Good Word for Buttermilk,

In warm, summer weather, many per-
sons feel an irresistible craving for some
thing sour, and often crafty this desire
by free indulgence in pickles and vcgc-
tables made acid with vinegar. This dc.
lnand for acid indicates deficiency in the
acid secretions in the stomach, and the
demand for an artificial one is q natural
one; but vinegar is not the best suhsti-
tute. Lactic acid is one of the chief
agents that give acidity to the gastric
Juice of the stomach in health This is
the acid of sour milk, and therefore one
of the best summer diet drinks that we
can use is buttermilk. 1t satisfies the
cravings for acids by giving the stomach
natural supply, and at the same time
furnishing in its cheesy matter good
supply of wholesome nutrition. A man
will endure fatigue in hot weather better
Cd buttermilk than any drink he can use.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Prejudice, which sees what it pleases,
cannot see what is plain.
We are sure to get the better of fortune
if VIC do but grapple with her.
In this world of change, naught which
comes stays and naught which goes is
| lost.
Habits are soon assumed, but when we
strive to strip them off, tits being flayed
alive!
A man without self-restraint is like a
barrel without hoops, and soon tumbles
to pieces.
A proud man is seldom grateful man,
for he never thinks that he gets as much
as he deserves.
The best characters have mixture of
infrmities, and the worst have some re-
deemingsvirtues.
Be not too brief in conversation, lest
you be not understood; nor too diffuse,
lest you be troublesome.
How can we expect that friend should
keep our secret whilst we are convincing
him that it is more than we can do our
selves?
Words are but the signs and counters
of knowledge, and their currency should
be strictly regulated by the capital which
they represent.
The understanding is better employed
in bearing the misfortunes that actually
befall US than in penetrating into those
that possibly may do so.
Begin early the cultivation of sym
pathy: in this way we lose sight of wor-
ries and troubles connected with our own
lot, besides being Of help to Others.
What is liberty without wisdom and
without virtue? Such liberty is the
greatest of all possible evils, for it is vice
and folly and madness, without tuition
and without restraint.
Trees that, like the poplar, lift upward
all their boughs, give no shade and no
shelter, whatever their height. Trees the
most lovingly shelter and shade us when,
like the willow, the higher soar their
SUBMITS the lowlier droop their boughs.
